The DoDEA Stakeholder Feedback Survey is now open.

Parents and students across DoDEA are invited to share their experiences and perspectives to help strengthen schools worldwide. Feedback gathered through the survey helps inform decisions at the school, district, regional, and agency levels.

The survey is open January 29 through March 13 and takes approximately 15–20 minutes to complete. Survey access is sent through DSIS email.
